Summary
TableMark will temporarily suspend sales of its ‘Domestic Koshihikari 10-Pack’ packaged rice starting early August 2025 due to a rice shortage and increased demand. To address this, a new product without a specific rice brand will be introduced on August 1, 2025. While the 10-pack is affected, other products in the ‘Domestic Koshihikari’ series, such as the 3-pack, 5-pack, and 8-pack, will continue to be sold. The company attributes the suspension to challenges in securing a stable supply of domestic Koshihikari rice, driven by unexpectedly high demand for packaged rice.
